As Cardinal Mercier said : "When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere."                                                                                  From Cardinal Sarah : "In order to avoid hearing God's music, we have chosen to use all the devices of this world. But heaven's instruments will not stop playing just because some people are deaf."                                                                                              Saint John-Paul II wrote: "The fact that one can die for the faith shows that other demands of the faith can also be met."                                                 Cardinal Müller says, “For the real danger to today’s humanity is the greenhouse gases of sin and the global warming of unbelief and the decay of morality when no one knows and teaches the difference between good and evil.”                                                  St Catherine of Siena said, “We've had enough exhortations to be silent. Cry out with a thousand tongues - I see the world is rotten because of silence.”                                                  Chesterton said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”                                                Brethren, Wake up!

The Bishops of England and Wales have asked us all to write in response to the Consultation Document issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Visit the Bishops Conference webpage HERE for more information about why this is so important, or read the Diocese of Westminster commentary HERE.
You might wish to listen to Archbishop Peter Smith explaining the gravity of the situation:

As the Bishops' website is rather complicated, you can more easily download the form HERE. 
The questionnaire begins on page 7.  The answers are 'yes' or 'no' from drop-down menus, the Bishops offer advice on how to reply. 


When you have filled it in, either email it to:
assistedsuicide.consultation@cps.gsi.gov.uk

Assisted Suicide Policy Team
Crown Prosecution Service Headquarters - 6th floor

Responses must be received by 16th December.


PLEASE ACT, DO NOT IGNORE THIS APPEAL.  THIS LEGISLATION THREATENS THE LIVES AND DIGNITY OF EVERY PERSON IN THIS COUNTRY.


Our Lady, help of Christians, pray for us.
